len. He picked out the characters of
nose he knew to be law-abiding citi-
ems, and he knew what il was to keep
he law, and he plumbed his line of con
luct by that. He had the law-abiding
spirit in him, and with that spirit in him
was possible for him to gauge his

whom he knew did know the law and
Kept IL. What is the lesson to you and
ne today? The lesson is this, simply
thiS-the simplest lesson q child ever
learned. and every child can learn il as
fully as the best educated man i'll the
world this afternoon. 1t is that Jesus
Christ was righteous, that Jesus Christ
was SpOtlesS, that Jesus Christ knew the
law. that Jesus Christ kept the law to
the fullest, and that he lived among men
and kept this law among men, amid all
the trials and all the temptations. and
that now He is the example before us,
and If we want to know and do that
which is lawful and right before God,
we have simply to take Jesus Christ as
our leader, and live up to what we see i'll
Christ. That is possible for every man
and every woman in this house to-day.
YOU KNOW JESUS CHRIST.
You can learn of Him. You can have
the same mind in Christ Jesus. You
can have the same law, and have it
written In your heart by the spirit of
God, and you can live up to 1t ii you
will. If you will. But if you wont,
that ends the question. Unless you are
ready this afternoon to say: God be-
ing my helper, | will live according to
Christ, and let my manner of life be ac-
cording to the gospel of Christ" then
YOU ought not to make any move in the
world; you are simply accommodating
damnation for your soul. If you are an
honest man, If you are truthful man,
II You are brave man and have one
Scintel or spark alive after that which is
pure. holy and g0d-ltke in your nature.
you can stand in the integrity of your
manhood to-day and say: Il will, God
being my helper, live according to the
gospel of Jesus Christ" AS you live
according TO the gospel, putting your
feet in the preparation OF the gospel,
with the Christians armor full upon YOU
from the preparation of the gospel, for
your feet to lead you in ways that are
peaceful and pleasing to the glorious
hamlet of sal walton, you can so live
as that. when your times are
ended here in this world, you shall step
upon the platform of your chariot of
righteous deeds, that is emblaZoned
round with the record of your good
works, as it swings upon the axle of
knoWleuge,aS II Is upDOrne by the golden
wheels OF Il precious experience, as it is
drawn by the SteedS of temperance and
benovelence, and there, taking the reins
III your hands of temperance, you can,
with the lash of Christian zeal, setting
your face upon heaven. go up that shin
ing way until, where time ends on the
very cliffs of eternity. chariot, man and
horses are transferred into the glory of
God, aud you roll i'll through the pearly
gates. leaving shower of dust from the
golden streets behind you, until you
bow as you kneel a the foot of Gods
throne and say. Here, oh Lord. | come,
| come. With all my ransomed powers
l have sought and have found Thee at

thou good and faithful servant: enter

all the angelic hosts of heaven shall well
come thee with the glad song:
ta well done! Well done.
